Topic: What the pressure for success comes with - page 2. (Read 371 times)

This was what I was thinking. This forum is just another place for crypto discussion and conversation (sure let's also mention marketplace), but I do not think that I would obligate them to be in this forum just because they are into crypto.
There are full of resources out there as well that might be helpful.

Not just newbie who look back to check the things they have done before and I am not proud I did some poor performance before and honestly, I also did some poor performance sometimes due to circumstances that I didn't expect to happen or without planning about it but did see that I am wasting my time completely. Many newbied think like that but remember, higher ranking forum members are also once a newbie before. I would say that it is not a waste of time but an opportunity to know a place where I can learn about cryptocurrency even though I didn't last here if that's the case. I didn't believe first that I couldn't reached what I wanted before and made me stop being active on this forum for quite some time.

Unfortunately, there are people who underestimate this forum as they only see it as an alternative means of income. While that may be true, this forum was built for more than that purpose- in fact, this is the biggest repository of knowledge about cryptocurrencies all throughout.

The fact that you can post any question and a cryptocurrency veteran can almost immediately answer your question speaks for the forum itself. I just hope that more people would see the value of this forum, not only as a means of getting "physically" rich but also mentally rich with knowledge.

Thanks for the advice, I bought my first set of alts at 17k per BTC so yes I am ready to see 50% drop or let's say 8k per BTC, I've been in this crypto space since 2017 and I've known the difference, fear and feeling of a bear market, this time around no matter how ugly it gets I will keep accumulating.

Why are you discussing your level and rank in your Crypto class? My thought are like what is the importance? Also everyone don't need to start a crypto-currency class just because they are a member of the forum, if I ever have a class I think I would just introduce to them the forum as part of the process of learning more about crypto-currency advice them to read the rules and not even about my rank. The pressure is the one we place on ourselves  like I can say you are doing right now. First learn how to lecture people on Crypto-currency the right way.

Anyone who expects that the forum owes them something will undoubtedly be offended. Many, having seen enough YouTubers, who in 2017 churned out batches of videos about how they managed to get rich with the help of the forum, are still hoping for such a freebie. Although, to be honest, even then there was more boasting than actually successful "rich people". 
But smart people just can't wake up without coffee and reading the forum. For many, this forum has become part of their routine. You can also add to all those offended after that, wasting time in the hope of making quick money, they harmed only themselves. 
Reading the forum can not be called a waste of time. This is the future, and the better and sooner we are prepared for it, the more successful our tomorrow can be.

in what and for what? or do you mean desperation in terms of contributing to the forum or otherwise?


don't forget that everyone has different motives and intentions that brought them to the forum, its not everyone here comes to stay, besides what we were all commited to outside this forum are different from each other


of course everyone sees it from different perspective and give a different approach, but one thing am much confidently sure of is that, you bend to the rules of this forum and not the forum obeying to your dictate or wish.


let's better to be precise here, before you do your own research, first understand that this forum is a different thing entirely from learning crypto as a beginner and the two needed more careful attention to understand differently.

These are probably members who spend their time exclusively in altcoins boards chasing something called bounty campaigns that pay them in mostly worthless tokens, or they don't even pay them anything for the work done. The feeling that they wasted their time is therefore completely justified.


It's already a common story that spreads through social networks and attracts the people I described above, and it results from someone spreading a bunch of lies in order to continue to use cheap (free) labor to promote their mostly completely meaningless projects.


I won't tell anyone what to do with their money, but altcoins have never been profitable in the long term (the vast majority), and it should be said openly that investing in them is nothing but ordinary gambling with high chances of loss. Maybe it's comforting that someone sticks to the strategy "I only invest as much as I'm afford to lose", but it still doesn't make much sense to me.

Any investment is always a risk and not only investing in crypto.
Of course, everyone wants to invest successfully and make money, and people often invest all the money they have in a desperate desire to get out of poverty, but desperation is not a very good ally in investing.
Every investment should be well planned, we should know how to analyze the market, trends, make an investment plan and strategy and have a clear exit strategy.
This forum is just a good place to look for some information and a community of crypto enthusiasts, but nothing more.
Everyone is responsible for their decisions, and we should avoid any stress and pressure and make decisions rationally, without too much emotions.

Best you don't promise anybody anything as the cryptocurrency market is very unpredictable. You can only speculate but can't get it accurately. The only certain thing happening in 2024 is that Bitcoin miners reward will be halved and as a result there'll be less supply of Bitcoin circulating the market and If the demand for Bitcoin stays the same or increases, it'll drive up the price of Bitcoin.

As for altcoins nothing is certain, we might have a bull run for them in 2024, before then or never, nobody can assure you that, so it's best you trade with caution.  In 2021 speculators thought we'll see another bull run for Alts as we did back in 2017 but that didn't happen because altcoins already rally before their expected timeframe. Currently majority of the altcoins are down 90+ percent, them just going back to their all time high is already a miracle (rally) so don't be over expectant of more gains to come after that (which people consider the altcoin rally).

You might get a lot of backlash if they join in a bull market though and don't pull out while in profit (at least with their initial investment). The newcomers that join during bull markets might leave fairly quickly once the bear season returns.

I joined mid bear market from learning about the technology which is probably a good way to get people (if they're already interested in things technology related).

To do well here and then transfer it to other areas you do need a lot of information and must have acquired most of it already. Altcoins aren't the worst investments when bitcoin's down but there is a new development over the next few months to be cautious off if you hold a lot of alts (eth 2.0).

In bear market, if you hold altcoins you will get more serious loss than if you hold Bitcoin.

It is a nice initiative!

Builders do their works in either bull or bear market but for people who has never experienced cryptocurrency and crypto market, it is harder to convince them participating in bear market.

Usually newcomers join in bull market.

For me, I don't do this. If people are not ready, you don't have to teach them because they don't believe in what you say. If I teach or at least introduce it to anyone, I only do it one time. Later, if they need more, they will find me. Else, they don't need it and with this assumption, they are no longer in my list.

As people stay long in this forum, there is this level of anxiousness they develop.

Some newbies look back, in retrospect on their time spent in this forum, and they feel like they have been wasting away their time.

Could this be the reason someone asked me during my crypto lecture: "for how long you have stayed in this forum, you have nothing to boast of, how are you feeling Like being a member of the Btt forum?"

I chuckled. The question was funny to me. The only answer I gave was:

"At least, I have acquired enough information in crypto and the forum also. At least nobody will see me as a newbie in the forum again."

We laughed over it. But then, I knew why the such question was asked.

Some might be thinking that this forum is a get-rich scheme. Others, once you understand crypto, you will be rich and have bitcoin and other altcoins in your portfolio.

There is a lot of pressure some folks mount on themselves when they enter crypto.

I can understand the issue, but, let's talk about reality.

We all know that crypto and the Btt forum don't promise riches if you join or get ranked up easily. Crypto requires more intelligence and DYOR.
By 2024, it will be a bull season, how prepared are you?


Before the year 2024, I plan to re-strategize to create enough awareness for crypto in my society, create an enabling ground for lectures and solve some problems. Before then, I will keep developing myself intellectually and growing. With the efforts, I have made, if, in a working society, I know what the result could be.


Investing in crypto comes with a little ease when you remember you securing your future indirectly. Just invest with the amount you can afford to lose and leave the rest as too much pressure to invest big in a coin can be bad.


I am just having a retrospect as to why people pressure themselves too much to invest big in crypto.

As for me, I invest when I see a potential coin, invest with my spare money though. Being over-anxious has never solved any problem rather it leads you to invest wrongly.
